As the first Primary Multi-Academy Trust to adopt TeacherMatic, this collaboration aims to foster high-impact teaching and prioritise staff well-being across a network of schools.
London, April 2025 – Connect Education Trust, a Multi-Academy Trust comprising seven schools and serving over 3,500 pupils, has partnered with TeacherMatic, the AI toolkit for teachers and part of the Avallain Group. The collaboration is designed to support teachers across the Trust by enhancing pedagogical practices, streamlining planning and reducing workload through responsible use of GenAI.
The organisation brings together a diverse group of primary and special schools across North London, with a focus on delivering high-quality education and fostering collaborative improvement. In the Trust’s last two Ofsted inspections, the schools secured Outstanding grades in every judgement area.
“Innovation is a key part of our success, but we recognise that the key to creating environments where young people can thrive is the connection between ideas, people and infrastructure. That is why we see this partnership as being much more than an edtech deployment,” said Androulla Nicou, Chief Executive Officer from Connect Education Trust.
“The TeacherMatic team have worked with us and listened to all of our feedback to ensure the platform integrates smoothly with how we work and is intuitive and effective for the people who use it.”
Supporting Educators, Empowering Learners
Connect Education Trust’s decision to adopt TeacherMatic reflects four key objectives:
- Pedagogical Impact: TeacherMatic will help Connect Education Trust educators generate structured, evidence-informed content and provide feedback that supports learner progress and independence.
- Ease of Use: Its simple interface and broad accessibility will make onboarding straightforward for staff at every digital skill level.
- Well-Being and Workload: By automating repetitive tasks, TeacherMatic frees up valuable time for the staff, reducing stress and promoting teacher well-being.
- Expert Support: The TeacherMatic team has worked closely with the Trust throughout the setup process, ensuring tailored implementation and responsive support.
A First Among Primary MATs in Responsible AI Adoption
As the first Primary Multi-Academy Trust to integrate TeacherMatic, Connect Education Trust is setting a precedent for how primary MATs can meaningfully embrace AI in education. Their leadership demonstrates how AI can be responsibly integrated not only to increase efficiency but to strengthen pedagogy and support educator well-being at scale.
This adoption aligns with insights from Avallain’s recent online briefing, ‘Leading with Confidence: What MATs Need to Know About GenAI in Education’, which highlighted the need for strategic, ethical AI integration tailored to institutional needs.
“We’re proud to support Connect Education Trust in their journey towards more sustainable and impactful teaching,” said Peter Kilkoyne, Managing Director of TeacherMatic. “They are pioneers in showing how primary MATs can use AI not just to save time but to uplift both staff and students.”
Partnerships Built on Responsible Innovation
This collaboration is built on Avallain Intelligence, Avallain’s commitment to responsible AI. TeacherMatic embodies this approach, helping educators harness AI while upholding ethical standards, transparency, and control over data and intellectual property.
‘Our vision is to ensure that AI remains a tool for human-centred education,’ said Ursula Suter, Co-Founder of Avallain. ‘Connect Education Trust’s values align perfectly with ours by using technology to empower, not replace, educators.’
